My post today is a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  Neither one was really enough  to make a complete blog post about, so I kind of combined them.

This is about Sampson’s potty habits.  Like a lot of people Sampson is particular about where he potties.  When he was younger, he wouldn’t do his number two business just anywhere, in fact at daycare he would hold it all day and first thing he would do when he came home would be to run into the backyard and drop the kids off.

As he’s gotten older he has become a little less rigid about where he goes, but I do notice when we are out walking he will run ahead and if I by chance I happen to catch up to him, I notice him off in the woods popping a squat.   He will then run off like he is 5 pounds lighter, bouncing and frolicking like a small puppy.

Imagine my surprise yesterday when I picked them up from daycare and while I was settling Delilah into the car, I noticed Sampson up by the fire hydrant taking a dump!  I hurried over to where the pooper scooper is kept and when I looked up; he had moved from the fire hydrant across the driveway and was finishing his poop by the mailbox!

Enough of This.

That is about someone who won’t be named leaving the package of fire starter within munching level of a certain chocolate lab.

Delilah is like my little shadow. Normally wherever I am you can be sure she is close behind.  Which is why when I got out of the bathroom this morning and she wasn’t laying on the bed, I knew she was up to something.

Sure enough I went out into the living room to find her chomping on the fire starter.

Rest assured the fire starter is not toxic to your dog; I know this because this isn’t our first dance with the fire starter.  I will however be watching her to make sure she isn’t bound up from all that fiber.

Finally, just some quick pictures of what crossed my path on my way in to work this morning.

Lucky for them Thanksgiving was last month.
